State whether the following is true or false.
A concrete with a water to cement ratio of 0.25 would be easy to place without admixtures.

  • A.True only at large scales
  • B.False only at small scales
  • C.True
  • D.False

Answer: D

Such a mix is barely damp and cannot be compacted by ordinary means. Superplasticisers are what make very low ratios workable, and they are the basis of high-strength concrete. Chemistry rather than more water is what buys the workability.
